ELEN [110]3 years ago

Answer:

y = 4x² -3x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to plot the points on a graph. The curve through them opens upward, so you know <em>the first two answer choices are incorrect</em>.

<em>Looking at the location of the vertex</em>

The points (-1, 12) and (2, 15) have nearly the same y-value, so the vertex of the parabola will be nearly halfway between those points, at about ...

... x = (-1 +2)/2 = 1/2

Because the point at (2, 15) has a slightly higher y-value, you know it is farther from the vertex, so the vertex will be at an x-value that is less than 1/2.

For quadratic ...

... y = ax² +bx +c

the vertex is found at

... x = -b/(2a)

For the 3rd choice, this is x = -(-4)/(2·3) = 2/3. This is higher than 1/2, so we can eliminate this choice, too.

Only the 4th choice remains. (It passes the vertex location test: x = -(-3)/(2·4) = 3/8 < 1/2.)

_____

There are some other ways to solve this problem, too.

  1. try the given points in the given equations. The +5 as a constant of all of them tell you that all will work for x=0. Both of choices 3 and 4 work for x=-1, so we have to try x=2. Choice 3: 3·2² -4·2 +5 = 9, not 15. Choice 4: 4·2² -3·2 +5 = 15. So Choice 4 is the answer.
  2. write equations for a, b and solve them. a(-1)² +b(-1) +5=12; a(2)² +b(2)+5=15. or a-b=7, 2a+b=5 in standard form. Adding these gives 3a=12, so a=4 and Choice 4 is the answer.
  3. use a graphing calculator to write the quadratic regression formula from the three points. This result is shown in the attachment. The (a, b, c) = (4, -3, 5) correspond to Choice 4.

If the function f (x) has a domain of (a,b] and a range of [c,d), then what is the domain and range of g (x) = m × f (x) + n?
xz_007 [3.2K]
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

Domain = (a,b]

Range = [mc + n,md + n)

==============================================

Explanation:

The domain stays the same because we still have to go through f(x) as our first hurdle in order to get g(x).

Think of it like having 2 doors. The first door is f(x) and the second is g(x). The fact g(x) is dependent on f(x) means that whatever input restrictions are on f, also apply on g as well. So going back to the "2 doors" example, we could have a problem like trying to move a piece of furniture through them and we'd have to be concerned about the f(x) door.

-------------------

The range will be different however. The smallest value in the range of f(x) is y = c as it is the left endpoint. So the smallest f(x) can be is c. This means the smallest g(x) can be is...

g(x) = m*f(x) + n

g(x) = m*c + n

All we're doing is replacing f with c.

So that means mc+n is the starting point of the range for g(x).

The ending point of the range is md+n for similar reasons. Instead of 'c', we're dealing with 'd' this time. The curved parenthesis says we don't actually include this value in the range. A square bracket means include that value.

There are 13 brunettes and 7 blondes in a Spanish class. The teacher selects two students to run an errand. How many possible ou
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

As the teacher selects a brunette followed by a blonde, we just need to find the number of possibilities of choosing a brunnette and the number of possibilities of choosing a blonde:

number of possibilities of choosing a brunette: 13

number of possibilities of choosing a blonde: 7

Then, the number of possible outcomes is the product of these number of possibilities:

13 * 7 = 91 possible outcomes

An item on sale cost 35% of the original price of The original price.the original price was $17
VMariaS [17]

First multiply 17 by the percentage:

17 x .35= 5.95

Then subtract that answer from 17:

17 - 5.95= 11.05

35% of 17 is 11.05
